Interesting you should mention Korea in this context.

The current US behavior in Syria and Turkey sounds very similar to what the US did in 1950 in Korea, which led to the Korean War.

Korea had been held by Japan until the end of WW2, and in the years that followed Russia, China and the UN went back and forth in trying to determine a border between N and S Korea.
From Wikipedia:

But by 1950, Stalin believed the strategic situation had changed. The Soviets had detonated their first nuclear bomb in September 1949; Americans had fully withdrawn from Korea; the Americans had not intervened to stop the communist victory in China, and Stalin calculated that the Americans would be even less willing to fight in Korea - which had seemingly much less strategic significance.

This time, we're abandoning the Kurds to Turkey and Russia, just like we abandoned the S Koreans to China and N Koreans.

How far will we let them go this time before we have to step in and "protect the oil"?

Unfortunately, FatRump has shown he is OK just giving everything up to Putin.
